Thanksgiving is almost here, so I've decided after a year of working tremendously hard to grow my real estate business, it is time for a break. Though I have a couple of things to wrap up, for the most part I plan to stick around the homestead and focus on what I love to do: cook, decorate (I'm not really good at it), and read.
So, why do I read? Like I can imagine many book lovers saying, reading is my favorite pastime. I rarely watch TV, so when I have time to myself I am either reading or writing. Though I stick mostly to genres I've enjoyed for decades, I'm not opposed to reaching outside of my comfort zone to read other genres. Right now, my office is covered in books I've yet to read--some of which I will save and others of which will be donated afterwards.
My love of reading is something I am truly thankful for this time of year.
Do you remember the book that first grabbed you and turned you into a lifelong reader? I wish I could, but the only books from my childhood I recall are The Poky Little Puppy and The Little Engine That Could. My Nancy Drew books were probably the first ones I can identify as creating in me an urge to keep moving book to book through a series.
Here's looking forward to many more years of reading for all of us.

I remember loving the books my older brother brought home, and how I followed along with him as he read. Then I recall visiting the tiny little library in our village that seemed HUGE to me at a young age, with walls and walls of bookshelves. That's when I fell in love, I think.
Here is my MUSING MONDAYS POST
Reading was something that I had to do more often out of necessity, but obviously my view on that changed over the years and now I just love to read.
Thanks for visiting, ladies. It's a great to have you here. I remember several summer reading programs at the library, Laurel. I'm glad you really enjoy reading these days, Breana.
